Couple Gives Friends The Ultimate Surprise At Their Gender Reveal Party

This was no ordinary celebration.

After struggling with infertility challenges for years, Desiree and Ryan Fortin finally found success with IVF. At their gender reveal party, the couple shared a huge surprise with their family and friends: they were having not one, not two, but three babies.

When hearing Desiree was pregnant with triplets, the couple decided to keep it a secret until they could tell all their loved ones together.

"We had opened up to so many people about our journey and our struggles," explained Desiree. "And we'd received so much support from all of our friends, our church, and our families. So we really wanted to give them something exciting and special, too."

And that's exactly what Desiree and Ryan did at their huge celebration. The couple had two boxes containing either blue or pink balloons set out to make their relatives and friends believe they were having twins. But after they opened the first two, Ryan announced that there was one more gender to be revealed. Not surprisingly, everyone cheered and cried with happiness as Ryan and Desiree opened the last box filled with pink balloons.

Desiree says that all their difficulties and hard times made the moment that much more special. Now, the 20-week-pregnant mom-to-be says she is so thankful for what she calls the "triple success" that they had and can't wait to welcome her two boys and girl into the world.

"Ryan and I have had our share of difficult days along this journey, but we've tried to be positive and had hope that we would be parents, too, one day," said Desiree. "Now, we're getting more than we could have ever possibly imagined."
